We are not the footnotes of history. We follow in the footsteps of heroes. ― Toturi Kyoji  While the Great Clans are the Empire’s most obvious movers of great events, they are not the only ones. Almost since the Dawn of the Empire, the Emperor has retained the right to create Minor Clans as reward to those who have served him with great distinction, and they have carved out the right to be recognized as history. The Imperial Families ― the Seppun, the Otomo and the Miya ― have devoted their lives to serving the Emperor directly, and although they are small compared to the Great Clan Families, the pride that they take in their role as the Emperor’s own retained servants makes up for their lack of numbers. And ronin, though despised as  wave-men,  are always useful to their betters as freelance soldiers and on occasion important parts of the social order.  Fealty and Freedom  examines all of these Rokugani factions and gives them their due.  Fealty and Freedom  features:    Detailed histories of the Minor Clans, the Imperial Families and the role of Ronin in the Rokugan including profiles of notable characters    Advice and insight for playing characters from all of these factions and how their unique perspectives fit into the Emerald Empire    New and updated character creation and development mechanics for all existing Minor Clans, the Imperial Families and Ronin characters    Historical summery describing some of the factions that have disappeared from the Empire including the Hantei and Toturi Families and Minor Clans that have been absorbed into the Great Clans    Fealty & Freedom is the definitive source for the inner workings and character of Rokugan’s minor factions. Players and game masters alike will find exciting new insight into life outside the Great Clans. With all new schools, paths and powerful items this book is an essential addition to any Legend of the Five Rings library.

Three vows that mean everything to a samurai. To break any one is a sin deserving of death. To break all three is an affront to everything a samurai stands for; yet at times only sacrifice can mean victory. The assassination of a Crab Clan leader is the first in a web of events that sets the noble Imperial Magistrate Seppun Tashime on a journey through the Emerald Empire. As his investigations unfold, the true, horrifying scope of what he must face becomes apparent. Thrust into conflict with an ancient evil, will Tashime and his comrades from the Great Clans stave off disaster, or will his actions imperil the Empire even further? Death at Koten is the first graphic novel set in the epic Legend of the Five Rings storyline. A multiple award-winning game, Legend of the Five Rings tells the story of the Emerald Empire, where Great Clans vie against each other for control, while the denizens of the Shadowlands wait for any sign of weakness. Samurai drama meets fantasy in a storyline that lives in the imaginations of thousands across the world.
